The director is more concerned about keeping tuition at the school than the children, so she deliberately interferes with applications to K where a child can waste another year at CADS. She has also disclosed confidential information about my child without authorization. Also, she prevented a CPSE administrator from being able to provide mandated services once I completed the IEP process then lied to the administrator as to why CADS never identified my child's delays. When a child avoids an activity, rather than alerting the parent and working with the child to overcome the aversion, the teachers allow that child to chose less challanging activities which contributes to developmental delays and a delay in identification of problems. Areas that a child really needs help with are totally ignored. At Parent Teacher conferences, the teachers do not want to talk about real developmental issues a child may have redirect the conference "to keep it positive" so that delays are never addressed. A child who has a sensory processing disorder and needs personal will not be shielded from others, but if that child pushes another child away because that other child lunges at the first child and refuses to give personal space the child with the disability will get reprimanded and the other child is free to continue invading personal space which triggers the behavior in the first place. They only punish the child reacting to an invasion of their sense of security, not the instigator. The Director and the Educational Director are incapable of seeing the pattern of a disability so a child falls further and further behind and remains in an environment that is inappropriate by giving a parent an artificial sense of security through excessively and artifically positive reports. They do a great job conning parents into thinking their children are doing so well, but it is all smoke and mirrors. There is truly no substance behind it.
